    Accused profile: 76561197995253470

    Victim profile: 76561197996446480

    What happened? Description:
    I have been selling a Sunbeams Soldier taunt for awhile now and I got an offer on it from him, with a link to a steam rep page and it looks nice had some old posts on it saying he was dealing with PayPal and in amounts that are as large as mine so I did not see any problem. In his Inventory he had 2 unusual so I assumed he was someone just starting to buy into the game. but even haggled down 1.5 buds from the asking price so it seemed like a normal trade to me.

    But after trading him the items I never got the money sent to my paypal. and after closer inspection he had a fake website set up with the same page layout as source op with just a - instead of a period and the links even went back to the mains site.

    But after that flat line no communication after that​

    Provide Evidence:
    Picture 1 The trade agrement
    Picture 2 My trade history
    Picture 3 His profile
    Picture 4 the trade itself​

    Hello @Infomaniac , in order to proceed with your report please add a:
    -ScreenShot of your paypal history- showing all the activity(go back 1 month, from the date of the scam)-in full screen, displaying the url bar and without cropping anything;
    -ScreenShot of your Agreement- in full , taken from inside your Steam Client, without cropping anything;
    -Screenshot of your inventory history:

    1º-Open the Steam Browser by double clicking the steam icon in the tray in lower right corner of your screen.
    2º-On top left, open menu "Steam" and select "Settings".
    3º-On the new Settings dialog box, select "Interface" and enable the tick in front of "Display Steam URL address bar when available".
    4º-Click "OK" to close the Steam Settings dialog, applying the setting.

    Making the screenshot:

    -On top right, click the "More" button that is shown above the game labels for the various inventories you have, and select "View Inventory History".

    -Go to the start menu and type in the seek box "snipping", you will find in Vista and later the "Snipping Tool", click it to start it. It directly wants to make a screenshot. Select the full window excluding the very top of the steam browser window where your LOGIN name is shown. But INCLUDE the Nickname, the steam URL bar fully, both sides and full bottom of the steam browser.
    -Click the "Diskette" icon, or click "File" and then "Save As...", and save it to your desktop.
